Desert Primrose Gardens Consulting

Desert Primrose Gardens is a Tucson, Arizona-based garden design and installation business serving residential clients and small commercial properties. Founded by Kathleen Opeka, the company creates custom edible and ecological landscapes suited to the Sonoran Desert. Its work helps clients grow food, use water wisely, support local ecosystems, and shape inviting outdoor spaces, with designs that can accommodate HOA requirements.

Services begin with consultations, where clients discuss their goals, aesthetics, and features such as rainwater harvesting, food production, and ecosystem support. Desert Primrose Gardens also provides edible garden design and installation, ecological landscape design and installation, garden coaching, and guidance on plant selection and gardening in Tucson. Projects may include pollinator gardens, native plants, healthy soil practices, potted herbs, rain capture systems, and tortoise habitats. The business also offers speaking engagements and workshops, and customers can purchase plants and gift cards. Rooted in Kathleen’s connection to the region’s biodiversity and her experience tending gardens with her family, Desert Primrose Gardens combines practical gardening support with an emphasis on conservation and wellbeing.
